WEEKLY HOROSCOPE: Where exactly does the truth lie?

Week of Nov. 26

A fairly quiet week awaits us as no major planets are moving in or out of signs. The most significant change occurred last week when Neptune stationed direct in Pisces. Neptune stationed retrograde back in June 2018 and has finally turned direct.

Neptune is representative of the subconscious, our imagination, and the mystical and illusive. During the time that Neptune was retrograde we saw an abundance of claims that were clearly false and delusional. The specter of fake news took on an elevated stature as a proliferation of lies, false statements, and fabricated events — or claims of — populated our screens. This time period we may have been collectively confused by norms that were being broken across the globe.

One of the major problems with such delusions is that we get twisted information that can be easily manipulated through the lens of digital technology. What was once only available as fact with the evidence of film, audio and photo images can now be edited to represent a false narrative. Now with Neptune direct, the time has come to wrestle with that augmented reality and parse out that which is the truth. Where is Neptune in your chart? How can you use this event to your advantage?

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your ruling planet, Mars, is stirring up the peaceful waters of Pisces this week. With that in mind, you might be wise to follow your curiosity with regard to travel and education. Basically, anything that is expansive and evolutionary is favored. Expect some push back if you are too aggressive. Relationships could be somewhat touchy.

TAURUS (April 20 -May 20): Connections and transactions with large organizations may be animated and expansive. You might be motivated to implement a new path with business associates. While you may have good ideas for how to move forward, others may test your authority in that matter. A new direction may appear that seems unusual but well worth trying.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Expect to see a lot of activity with your significant partner and close friends as three planets gather in that area of your life. Be sure to get your facts straight as a testy Mercury spins in retrograde and could find you confused. You may be overly aggressive in your career, so keep an eye on possible flare ups there.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Health and daily routines are highlighted this week. You may be looking to gain new insights regarding your well-being. Education and travel are likely outlets for your exploration. Unexpected events may unfold regarding your career that could throw you off for a bit. Conversations may be erratic and unusual in and around occupation and home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): An especially creative period arrives for you this week. Creativity and fun are the highlights as three planets light up that area of your life. Watch for odd or erratic behavior from siblings, particularly if you travel to see them. Elderly relatives may also figure prominently, and you may be motivated to reach out to them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your ruling planet, Mercury, is spinning in retrograde during the week, so conversations that involve your home and family may be misconstrued. Relationships with your significant partner may be a bit animated, so walk gently in that area, and be certain to have your facts straight before you speak. An elderly relative could deliver a unanticipated surprise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Venus in Libra allows you to shine, but be aware of an unexpected response from a significant partner or close friend. You may be particularly motivated to resolve documentation issues with regard to your daily routine or health regimen. When in a Mercury retrograde period, you should check all details for mistakes or typos.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov 21): Expect to discuss money and financial investments this week. Be aware of details and facts that could be misrepresented, especially if you are dealing with children, no matter what their age. An unusual twist regarding your daily routine or health could pop up and surprise you in an odd manner. You may be unusually creative.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): With three planets in Sagittarius, you may be in the spotlight this week. Be careful of overpromising or inflating what you can accomplish. Family matters may be motivating but possibly problematic if not handled delicately. Children could respond in a surprising manner due to a confusion of intentions. Check for mistakes in all transactions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may be in the early stages of a transition that will allow you greater freedom and personal expression. Conversations with siblings could become a little touchy, so be certain you have the facts correct before you respond. An unexpected event at home could involve your occupation in an unusual twist. Strive for clarity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): New business arrangements that involve partners could be a motivating theme for you this week. The topic may be around shared resources that require your attention. You may be highly motivated to right a monetary wrong. Be sure to scan for errors in all transactions. Documentation could deliver some unusual facts that could sway your involvement.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Both Mars and Neptune (now direct) in Pisces may stir up some rather animated conversations regarding your occupation. You may be motivated to resolve and elevate a subject that could be highly visible and possibly expansive but somewhat controversial. As Mercury spins retrograde in your career, be sure to gain as much clarity as possible.
